Many hard proofs to learn: what's the strategy?
Hi everyone! I am a student of a M. Sc. in Stochastics and Data Science and for some god forsaken reason our study plan has a non optional exam in Partial Stochastic Differential Equation.
This M. Sc. it's not only attended by maths B. Sc. (indeed I studied Economics as my B. Sc.) and many of us are having one hell of a hard time passing this exam, since it revolves around highly abstract and anaylitic topics.
The teacher is utterly incompetent at teaching (he just reads from a PDF for two hours straight each lecture without adding one word of his or writing one thing at the blackboard) and at the exam he asks some of the 30 proofs in the syllabus and he wants them textbook perfect. I know you shouldn't memorize proofs and understand them instead but many of us simply lack the technical framework to understand the general topic and the professor is unavailable for clarifications.
If you have ever been in a similar situation, what's your approach? I am trying reading the proofs and re-writing them from memory but sometimes I feel like I am trying to copy a drawing from memory.
